Re: Ogidi Town Hall Festac Town.
Dear Madam,
Dr. Dolapo Ayokunle Fasawe. MD. LASEMA
Between the end of 512 Road and 5th Avenue, Festac Town, runs a byway. About the byway stands an edifice, the Ogidi Town Hall. Apparently the Ogidi Town Hall was built for its conventions and any other authorized uses.
However, something untoward happens in that hall, repeatedly. And sometimes the macabre events in this Ogidi Town Hall runs relentlessly for weeks.
Please, before we continue let us state the following. Ogidi town and Ogidi people are just like most Nigerian towns and peoples. That is to say they are community loving, civil and law abiding citizens.
But as in all things there are often rogue elements amongst even the most sagacious of peoples and communities. And sometimes these rogue elements emerge to run their communities in one guise or the other.
From what is apparent, the Ogidi Town Hall, Festac and or the Ogidi indigenes in issue, have such rogue elements in abundance or in dominant positions.
The details are as follows. Certain fiendish elements amongst the Ogidi property managers of the Ogidi Town Hall, Festac, have conspired to rent their Ogidi Town Hall, Festac, to a religious cult from hell, literally. Please, no metaphors are intended here.
For instance, from around 5 pm on the 12th to about 5.30 am on the 13th December 2019, these sectarian cult members were raising pure hell and mayhem in the entire neighborhood and beyond. Their wind and other instruments are so loud you will think Boko Haram were rallying troops for the invasion of a peaceful neighborhood. Like it is already hinted, this riotous din continued, typically, to the early morning of the 13th. One’s immediate impression is that some deranged persons are about to bear siege upon the neighborhood.
Please add to this the fact that this Ogidi Hall, Festac, is situated in a prefecture that is designated as purely residential. The implication of this is that residents are not able to enjoy their well deserved sleep. In fact, there is the news that an elderly man, afflicted with partial stroke, just died. And his quickened death was due to sleeplessness occasioned by sectarian cult invaders acting from Ogidi Town Hall. Simply put, they are hell raisers and death merchants.
What are the sins of the 512 Zone citizens that they should be under the yoke of death, ”suffering and smiling” from Ogidi Town Hall hell raisers? It is that some rogue and fiendish elements from Ogidi Town Hall, Festac, are renting their hall to make a kobo. And this is at the risk of damaged health, noise and mayhem, pollution and death, to innocent third party residents and others.
So the question is, should Ogidi people or rogue elements amongst them, be allowed to make money, literally off other peoples’ damaged health and imminent death?
The other question is, why are these Ogidi peoples or the rogue elements amongst them importing barbarianisms into Lagos?
Would these Ogidi peoples or the rogue elements amongst them, have rented such a hall for money and nuisance in their own community in Ogidi?
Why is it that what they cannot do in their Ogidi village they want to do to innocent others who are not from Ogidi, and in metropolitan Lagos of all places? Or is it that for these Ogidi peoples or rogue elements amongst them, are working on the assumption that Lagos is a no man’s land, is the Wild, Wild West?
Our suggestion, Madam, is as follows.
That you send your team to inquire from residents, especially the Association Leaders, on their experiences with these Ogidi rogue elements and the cult group that is disguised as a church. It will be revealed that the Ogidi people have been approached and they insist that it is business for Ogidi and that is that. The Ogidi elements are apparently proud and celebrating that they are connected enough to turn the law upside down and import barbarianism into Lagos.
Madam, it is thus indicated that the Ogidi Town Hall be sealed immediately. The hall is to be opened only on the condition that the Ogidi peoples and their Festac Town Hall property managers, abide by the noise and pollution regulations of Lagos state and bye laws of residents.
If the Ogidi rogue elements insist on their ways, then the C of O of the building should be withdrawn and the building acquired by the Lagos State Government in overriding public interest.
As to the cult church members, we advise that they be arrested immediately and be remanded in psychiatric centers for evaluation. Also, it is also not impossible that they are using such barbarianism as cover for more nefarious activities, like, the sniffing and trading of substances. Otherwise, there is no other way to explain the barbarianism of disturbing and convoluting an entire neighborhood and beyond in animal-like mayhem and bestiality. There must be somebody insane or purposely so there.
Finally, the government should advise all ”indigenous peoples” who flee their villages to end up in Lagos to keep to the ethics of a civilized society. Or quit and return back to whence they came.
This is so because this Ogidi rogue elements’ sense of entitlement to lawlessness, to barbarianism, is what makes whatever the good works of the governors of Lagos, including the hard working Babajide Sanwo-Olu come to nothing. It is a well known lore that ”Noise will kill and destroy a civilization faster than corruption.” Thank you. Your correspondent.
